Response : Lou, I am sorry that you got involved in a DUI conviction and need SR22 car insurance. SR22 car insurance is one of the most highly rated risk by the auto insurers. However here are a few tips which will help you in ensuring that you can reduce your SR22 car insurance quote :
1) Shop around for a cheap SR222 car insurance quote, different insurer will have a different underwritting philosophy and so you can get a resonable and affordable sr22 car insurance.
2) Ensure that you have an steering interlock attached so that you will be prevented from drunk driving. This will also help you in getting a discount on your auto insurance rate since the insurer is assured that you will not be able to get involved in another conviction.
3) I am glad you are taking up defensive driving lessons. Please complete them. This is another positive consideration for reduction of your auto insurance rates and getting cheap SR22 auto insurance.
A lot of insurance companies, the traffic authoriltes and the law enforcement forces have jointly taken measures to reduce DUI driving.
I am glad to let you know that as per the 2009 results drunken driving fatality rates have fallen in 40 states and the District of Columbia, an encouraging sign that crackdowns are improving highway safety.
The Transportation Department said that 11,773 people were killed in drunken driving crashes in 2008 for a rate of 0.4 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. In 2007, 13,041 motorists were killed in alcohol-impaired crashes for a rate of 0.43.
Vermont, Wisconsin, Maine, Nebraska, Minnesota, Connecticut, South Dakota, Arizona and the District of Columbia saw fatality rates involving alcohol-linked crashes decline by 20 percent or more.
Thus maybe the coming years will see a great decline in the drunk driving convictions and SR22 car insurances will be very cheap.
Please take care in the holiday season and happy seasons greetings.
Thanks.
